My mom had one of the pasta cookers, took longer to use it than it did to make a pot of hot water.

I own one of the pasta cookers and love it. When you live in a place with hot, humid summers and a tiny Manhattan apartment (with an even more tiny kitchen), it’s wonderful to not have to steam up the kitchen cooking pasta, especially if your face is over the stove throwing together a sauce. If you’re mindful of the timing, water levels and your particular microwave (just took a couple batches to perfect), the pasta comes out perfectly al dente. I have some top-of-the-line professional cookware, but still wouldn’t want to give this little gadget up.

I have those ice straw trays. I tell you, those things cool your beverage in a uniform way, since it goes through all the liquid, not just the bottom.

I have also star-shaped trays, but i dont really make much use of it.

Ice Straw - Ikea sell them for 99p, got mine YEARS ago.

@Doink - agree, the ice straws are excellent at cooling your drink.

The universal drying rack has it’s problems, sure it looks great, but I can see how it could easily be overcrowded, leading to improper drying. I think I’ll stick to the one that came with my apartment.

The hot dog cutter is quite nifty, the sausage is never long enough for the bun, looks like it could help catch the ketchup and mustard, less spillage while eating.

I normally say no to uni-taskers, but I’d make an exception for a few of the ones here.

All these things suck. So bad in fact, I’m going to waste my time commenting on how bad they are because my bitterness is more creative and important than these ACTUAL PRODUCT INVENTIONS. As usual, negative comments to profitable solutions.
